Introducing Sentimental Script . . .

There is a story behind this scrip, it is not just a script font of words, it is a poem my Dad's Aunt Wini wrote named Eternal Spring in her original handwriting.

It speaks of how "I wish my life would end in the Spring, when flowers bloom and the birds all sing . . . And Heaven will be Eternal Spring."

She passed away in the Spring when I was a little girl but I remember her well. Such fond memories I have to cherish.

Jillian asked her daughter, Martha (who at the time was 84 years old) if she could use this as a stamp and was given her blessing along with the HANDWRITTEN original Aunt Wini had written. Unfortunately, Martha passed last January (2012) before we were able to show her the finished stamp. She was very involved in Jillian's life years before she passed as we would share photos of Jillian to Martha and she enjoyed Jillian's activities in dance and theater. Martha was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2011 and moved to our town to an assisted living center to be near my family.

So the name Jillian chose for this stamp truly is Sentimental!
Here is my creation . . .
